Kochi Sake 🍶.
I was so surprised at the taste of this sake when I drank it at an izakaya in Kochi, I went to all the liquor stores the next day, but they were all sold out 😭.
The other day, I found this one at Yodobashi Camera Umeda! I bought it right away!
One sip and it was just like I remembered it from that time 🤤.
The fruity flavor and the acidity that comes afterward are a perfect match! Too good 🏇!

I hear Kochi sake is spicy...
It is indeed spicy, but the fruitiness comes later in the dry and bitter taste!
Because it's 58%? On purpose? I can feel a very strong miscellaneous taste.
This robust sake makes me want to eat pickles... lol...
On the way back from a visit to Sakai with the wife, I bought a bottle of Kaygetsu Special Junmai, Super Dry at the Kochi Prefecture Antenna Shop at Hankyu Umeda Station. Looking forward to drinking it!

Alcohol content 18
Rice polishing ratio 60

Pale silver in color with a transparent appearance.
The first impression of the aroma is "white flowers in a rice bale
Soybean, tofu, peach, lychee, and some kind of white flower.
First impression of the taste is "firm, clear, and refreshing
Mild sweetness, smooth acidity, mildly moderate bitterness
The balance is easy to match with food as it is clear and crisp with the deliciousness of rice and moderate fruity taste.
The aftertaste is short.
This is my personal favorite type of sake.
It is easy to recommend when someone asks for a "dry sake.
Dry" is a very difficult word to define because everyone has their own definition of "dry", but my personal interpretation when asked for one is "a sake that is not sticky-sweet".
I think this sake is easy to convince people because it "cuts" cleanly.
Personally, I always like to keep this sake on hand.
I received this from someone at work. This is the second Tosa sake following Kurei.
It has a wonderful aroma.
It smells like freshly cooked rice with a hint of flowers.
It was a very fitting impression, even for me (laughs).
It is very delicious! Sweet fruit.
Very fruity! This is good!
It was 300 ml in no time.
Thank you so much for the food!
